I have been reviewing my turtle graphics in jhs script (tgsjhs) on the jwiki and have been surprised by how files are now handled on the jwiki. I believe there have been changes that I did not realize and want to seek confirmation of my impressions. This link takes you to the jwiki page Download section:
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/User:Brian_Schott/code/turtleGraphics/tgsjhs#Download 0) Notice that each file's name now begins with 'File:' and is followed by a capitalized Filename. It is my understanding that the user is expected to click on the 'File:xxx' link and is then delivered to that file's separate page to view or download the file. The new link is as follows (notice the capitalization). code.jsoftware.com/wiki/File:<Filename> (Further below I will try to discuss a problem that I have had trying to upload a zip file, but here only downloading a viewing are discussed.) 1) Clicking on the link in the first section of the new window/tab (which is the File section named https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/File:<Filename>#file) acts like a typical hyperlink which produces a new window or tab containing text or an image of the file, depending on the file type. Instead, right-clicking on this link enables downloading the File with the capitalize Filename, and at least on my Mac even worked for a .zip file that was uploaded as a .png file because the jwiki does not accept the former. On my Mac the "Save Link as..." option allowed me to change the Filename-without-extension to filename.with-desired-extension (notice change in capitalization and addition of '.' . This enables me to save with exactly the desired filename and extension. But frankly it took a while to learn the correct steps, especially right-clicking and renaming. I guess my questions for the above are, am I correct in the required steps and is this so burdensome that folks coming from a youtube video who attempt to download my will not wish to download this (or other) scripts? ************ Now back to uploading a zip file to the jwiki. There is a zip file already on this page; it was uploaded before the new wiki was installed using a disguised extension of .png . But I have been unable to replace that zip file nor to upload a new zip file either by using the disguised extension or the real extension. When I use the png extension it is rejected with the following error. File extension ".png" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (application/zip). When I use the zip extension, an error informs me that zips are not permitted. So the question here is: Is there a workaround for this problem?
